A new man this Murphy, taking the place of Mullen, who had broken down with overwork and nervous strain. His was the post of the greatest danger on the ship — if there were one spot more dangerous than another where all stood in continual peril of their lives. Slipping the anchor, he would be in peril from the snapping stops, and the rushing cable. Touching off" torpedo number one, which would be immediately under his post, he would be in danger of being blown overboard or even of receiving a w...ound. All these things were explained to him, but he showed no trepida- tion. " It shall be done, sir, " was his only response. All on deck were to lie on their faces near the rail. A halliard tied to the wrist of each and running to the bridge where Hobson stood was to be the means of making signals. Three decided pulls meant that the torpedoes were to be discharged. For the men below, the signal on the engine- room telegraph to stop served also as a signal to throw open the water-valves and come on deck.
